As of February 26, Switch 2 had 11 exclusive titles, while PS5 had 9 over five and a half years, and Xbox Series S/X had none over the same period.
Switch 2 launched in June of last year and is selling well, especially in Japan. Many criticized the console for allegedly having too few exclusives and for porting existing games. GameRant counts exclusives only for a single platform; if a game is available on PC, it is not considered exclusive. PS VR2 is also not included in the count, as it requires separate hardware.
Switch 2 exclusives:
- Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
- Survival Kids
- Drag x Drive
- Chillin' by the Fire
- Fast Fusion
- Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
- Mario Kart World
- Kirby Air Riders
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Mario Tennis Fever
- Tokyo Scramble
The average Metacritic score of Switch 2 exclusives turned out to be higher than that of its competitors. GameRant notes that the questions of "quantity versus quality" and the criteria for exclusivity remain matters of debate, but the fact remains: Switch 2 leads in the number of unique games in its first year.
